Attached - Amir Levine

"Over a decade after its publication, one book on dating has people firmly in its grip."
-The New York Times

We already rely on science to tell us what to eat, when to exercise, and how long to sleep. Why not use science to help us improve our relationships? In this revolutionary book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Amir Levine and Rachel Hellerscientifically explain why some people seem to navigate relationships effortlessly, while others struggle.

Discover how an understanding of
adult attachment-the most advanced relationship science in existence
today-can help us find and sustain love. Pioneered by psychologist John
Bowlby in the 1950s, the field of attachment posits that each of us
behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways:

Anxious people are often preoccupied with their relationships and
tend to worry about their partner's ability to love them back.
Avoidant people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and
constantly try to minimize closeness.

Secure people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm
and loving.

Attached guides readers in determining what
attachment style they and their mate (or potential mate) follow,
offering a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections
with the people they love.
